Order Parthenocissus Vines Now For October Delivery

Our Parthenocissus range includes the popular, super vigorous Parthenocissus quinquefolia, and the slightly slower growing Parthenocissus henryana.

Both are renowned for their lush foliage, vibrant autumn colours, and ability to rapidly cover walls and fences.

These hardy climbers are easiest to maintain when grown against structures with nowhere else for them to go, such as a house surrounded by gravel driveways and paved paths. They have a well deserved reputation for taking over when planted out in borders, but even then they can be controlled with a clean-up twice a year.

The stems "layer", meaning that they root where they touch the ground, making these vines versatile ground cover; again, it's best to plant them where they will be naturally contained by paving or gravel.

Which Size Pot Should I Buy?

• The bigger the pot, the bigger the plant and the faster it will establish.
• Pots are measured by their volume in litres apart from p9 / 9cm pots, which are a little over half a litre.

Are p9 pots worth it?

p9 pots are good value if you are in no hurry, but most people prefer larger pot sizes to save a year or two of waiting around.  

Here's the secret about p9 pots that no one tells you: ideally, they should be planted outdoors between the last Spring frost, and the middle of Summer, say the start of August.

• If you receive p9s from late Summer onwards, it's usually best to pot them up into 1 litre pots, and keep them in a sheltered place until Spring, then plant them out when the soil has warmed up again.
• They will establish much better this way, compared to planting them out late, when they have no time to establish before the harsh Winter weather starts.

Do Parthenocissus damage walls?

No, Virginia creeper will not damage solid brickwork.

However, old, crumbling brickwork that already has cracks for it to attack is vulnerable.

If you want to remove Parthenocissus from painted surfaces, don't yank it off when it's alive, or it will take the paint with it.

Cut the vines at the base to kill them, then leave them for several months to wither and dry out before pulling them off. 

With that said, most climbers can damage and block guttering, drainpipes and other external fittings, so don't give them the opportunity!
